MULLINS v. HOPPER.
33810.
PER CURIAM.
Habeas corpus. Tattnall Superior Court. Before Judge Harvey.
Robeson Mullins raises on habeas the ineffective assistance of his appointed counsel in both Meriwether and Muscogee counties. Both attorneys, aware of Mullins' long history of schizophrenia and his diagnosis as being in psychosis when arrested, advised he plead guilty to charges pending against him in their respective counties, despite the bizarre nature of the incidents. As a result Mullins was sentenced to ten years for robbery and twelve months for obstruction of an officer in Meriwether County; eleven years for armed robbery, ten for aggravated assault, and two twelve-month sentences for misdemeanor pistol violations in Muscogee County.
We find, under the facts of the alleged crimes and the medical history of the defendant, that both appointed counsel were ineffective. The habeas court erred in not granting Mullins' habeas petition.
Arthur K. Bolton, Attorney General, John W. Dunsmore, Jr., Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.
Derrickson, Bowen & West, Thomas M. West, for appellant.
SUBMITTED JULY 12, 1978 -- DECIDED SEPTEMBER 8, 1978.
